Sulodexide. Nephroprotective properties and horizons for use in nephrology
Sulodexide belongs to the class of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides. Found in mammalian tissuesm, GAGs regulate the activity of a wide range of proteins (including chemokines, cytokines, growth factors, enzymes, morphogens, and adhesion ...

Mast cell glycosaminoglycans [PDF]
Mast cells contain granules packed with a mixture of proteins that are released on degranulation. The proteoglycan serglycin carries an array of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains, sometimes heparin, sometimes chondroitin or dermatan sulphate.

Biglycan : a multivalent proteoglycan providing structure and signals [PDF]
Research over the past few years has provided fascinating results indicating that biglycan, besides being a ubiquitous structural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), may act as a signaling molecule.

The cleavage of biglycan by aggrecanases [PDF]
SummaryObjectiveAggrecanase-1 [a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-4] and aggrecanase-2 (ADAMTS-5) have been named for their ability to degrade the proteoglycan aggrecan.

Instant determination of the potential biomarker heparan sulfate in human plasma by a mix-and-read fluorescence assay [PDF]
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a linear, polydisperse sulfated polysaccharide belonging to the glycosaminoglycan family. HS proteoglycans are ubiquitously found at the cell surface and extracellular matrix in animal species. HS is involved in the interaction with a wide variety of proteins and the regulation of many biological activities.

Differentiation of murine B cells induced by chondroitin sulfate B [PDF]
A two-step culture system was used to investigate the role of chondroitin sulfate (CS) B, which is mitogenic to B cells, in differentiation of B cells. Mouse spleen B cells were incubated for 3 days with CSB in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-5.

Damage due to salt crystallization in porous media [PDF]
We investigate salt crystallization in porous media that can lead to their disintegration. For sodium sulfate we show for the first time experimentally that when anhydrous crystals are wetted with water, there is very rapid growth of the hydrated form of sulfate in clusters that nucleate on anhydrous salt micro crystals.
